Well, how y'all doin' out there? Welcome! I'm Ms. Sugar. And they call me Ms. Sugar, in case any of you would like to know, it's because I'm sweet like that. That's a fact. I'm honest, and I'm direct. This woman has a whole lot of wisdom, and we happen to be talkin' about the parenting wisdom. You know, wisdom is a principle thing, and it goes on to say in the Bible, we need to get understanding. And I'd like to help a few of you parents out there with these nuggets of wisdom. There's four of them. Responsibility. Love. Self-control. That requires discipline. But darlin', before I go on, I wanna first say, if you haven't subscribed, please do. And if you have, thank you. And please like the video, and go on and leave a comment, darlin'. We'd like to know what you're thinkin' about the video, and give your voice matters, too. So let's jump on in. I'm gonna open up with a quote by Frederick Douglass. He says, It's easier to make strong children than it is to repair a broken man. I'll go on and say woman. But Jesus came here for the brokenhearted. And that's who I'm here for. The brokenhearted. No one that completely got it all together. And I don't think of any of us. And I just wanna give you some encouragement, I am primarily here for you. Mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters. To help you, as I've been helped over the few decades. The first word, responsibility. That's what it takes in regard to being a great parent. We need a responsible one. It's not necessarily, you know, the mother and the father. We got grandparents now. That's responsible caregivers taking care of our children. I know my son, grandson, said to me the other day, I took him on in the bathroom with me, seven years old, in the women's bathroom, and he just grabbed me. That's what he called me. He don't call me no Miss Sugar. He call me grab me. When can I start going in the men's bathroom by myself? Oh baby, on my watch. I ain't losing any kids. No offense to nobody else, I gotta have my kids, grandkids in front of me. I said, maybe when you a teenager. By then, you can knock somebody out. Cause these kids now, teenagers, they don't mess around. They will curse you out, knock you out. And that's when you can start going to the grand bathroom by yourself. Joe Sawyer. That's his name. I love him dearly. The next word is love. Children say love is time. Our pro dad says it's a decision. Well, I say let's couple it together, make a direct decision to spend more time with our children. I did an event with all these kids, and I talked about love, and a little girl came up to me, five years old, and said, what is love? She had her hand on my hand. What is love? And I told her, I said, sweetheart, I'm giving it to you right now. That time. Love. So we got responsibility. We got love. The next word, self-control. We need some self-control with these kids, with our children. Sometimes we have to repeat ourselves. Don't repeat yourself too much. Repeat yourself, repeat yourself. Don't you know, darling, we are teaching them how not to listen to us? So that requires discipline. You think we're the only ones require discipline? Our children require it, and they want it. Old Billy Graham says they want it. It make them feel secure, and give them a place to help guide them. Just use self-control in love. Those are the nuggets. Responsibility. Love. Self-control and discipline. That's it for today with Ms. Sugar. I am my father's daughter. I love you, and you can't do nothing about it. Peace.
